Sooner Sayings.
Reading edition
All town-sites look alike on the map.
A claim in the run is worth two in the lottery.
One contest beats a fire, and two are worse than a ship-wreck.
A stake on a home-stead is more valuable than a palace on an Indian allotment.
As smoke to the eyes and vinegar to the teeth, so is a contest to the poor man seeking a home.
